Application filed December 20,1912. Serial No. 737,811.-

- lTaall'whom it may concern IBe it: known that L'J AMES DUNN, a citizen of theTUnited States of America, and

a! resident of Bridgeport, Fairfield county,

Connecticut, have invented a new and usewill be strong and secure in use.

- In the following I have described, in connection with the accompanying drawings,

a paperbox blank embodying the principles of-my' invention, the'features thereof being ,more particularly pointed out hereinafter 'i-in theclaims In the drawingsFi'gure lis a plan View of apajper' boxbl ank illustrating one way of'practising lily-invention; Fig. 2 is a perspect'ive view ofthe outer envelop or con-' view of-the tray set up .from another Qtainerset up from a portion of the blank shownin Fig; 1 and F g. 3 is a perspective .tion or said blank and adaptedto he slid tially rectangular piece of paper'box board" imilar letters of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views.

In. the drawings a indicates a substanconstituting the primary blank. A portion to the lefthand,,the upper, righthand and a portion of the lower edges form respectivel the outer edges of that portion of the blan; adapted to form the envelop shown set up in Fig. 2. Another portion of the lower edge'of the board 0, forms one ofthe outer edges of that portion of 'theblank adapted to form the tray shown setup in ,Eig. 3.

The dotted indicate .scorings on that portionv ofthe blank adapted to form the envelop and dotted lines 1', Ink, 711 Z, m, n, fo,' p and 9 indicate scorings on that portion of' the blank adapted to form the tray. 1

within or 'inclosed by the envelop shown in lines I) 0, d, e, and z" 1 Full lines 1'", s, t, u, u, o, u,.co,"w.,w, w and: 31,.y indicate cuts in the blank to sever the: two portions of the blank from each other and to'form said separated parts into secondary blanks-adapted to be set up into the .envelop and tray.

"indicates a cut to form a thumb hole in the qenLvelop.

- It will be observed that all of the scorings andicuts maybe made by a single impres sionbrr'stroke of 'a suitable die and that the only waste portions of the primary blank,

initheiformshown, are for the thumb hole 2, the c or ners adjacent cuts 3 and 3 and the narrow rectangular strip to the left; ofeut s andbelow cut r.

In setting up the secondary blanks to form the enyelop and tray respectively, the

portion adapted to form the envelop is folded along the scorings 'b, a, d and e to form a tube and the narrow strip adjacent scoring b is pasted or otherwise secured adj acent the outer righthand upper edge of the secondary blank. The flap portion of the envelop is then folded along the scorings f, 9, hand.

z' to pass across the ends and one side of the envelop as shownin Fig. 2, the tongue A being adapted to be tucked into the envelop adjacent thumb hole 2. The tray is formed by folding the other secondary blank along the scorings la, is, n, p, 0, Q, k, 1,1 andl m so that flaps B and B and C and C lie adjacent the ends of the tray and flaps D and D are bent over the upper edges of the end of the tray and down into the interior thereof where they may be secured in any desired manner. I have shown flaps D, D

as wedge-shaped so that they may be cro\vd ed into the tray and held therein by friction. It is obvious that the exact arrangement shown and described may be varied without departing from the spirit of my invention and I'do not restrict myself to such details further than the scope of the appended claims demand.

What I claim and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

1. A blank for a paper box formed of ,a tray and a separable envelop inclosing said tray, comprising a substantially L shaped portion including a main body portion for the envelop disposed at the angle of the L- shaped portion,'a side body portion for the envelop, the opposite main body portion for the envelop and the opposite side body portion for the envelop being arranged along the foot of the L, the stem of said substantially L-shaped portion being formed by flap portions for respectively covering one end of the envelop, one main body portion of the envelop and the opposite end of the envelop, substantially the entire remaining rectangular portion of the blank being scored and cut to form after separation from said L-shaped portion the sides and bottom of said tray.

2. A. blank for a paper box formed of a tray and a separable envelop inclosing said tray, comprising a substantially L-shaped portion including a main body portion for the envelop disposed at the angle of the L- shaped portions, a side body portion for the envelop, the opposite main body portion for the envelop and the opposite side body portion for the envelop being arranged integrally in seratz'm along the foot of the L, the

stem of said substantially L-shaped portion being formed by flap portions for respectively covering one end of the envelop, one

main body portion of the envelop and the In testimony whereof I have signed thisspecification in the presence of two subscrlbing witnesses.
